Introduced in 2017, Arctic Babe is the first white-fleshed miniature nectarine. Bred by Floyd Zaiger, it is has super-sweet, large size fruit that is semi-freestone. The dwarf tree reaches only 4-6 feet tall which makes it easy to thin and harvest, and easy to cover to protect blooms from frost or leaf curl. It will grow great in a pot or in the ground, and ripens mid-season. Needs 700 chill hours. Self fruitful.

USDA Zone: 6-9

Mature Size:  5' (Mini Dwarf)

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: July - August

Pollination: Self Fertile

Rootstock: Lovell

    It requires 700 chill hours. It may not be the best option for your growing zone. 

  • Can this bare fruit still in Southern Arizona winters or does Southern Arizona winters provide enough chill hours for this fruit tree to bare fruit?

    Arctic Babe requires 700+ chill hours. Anywhere south of Prescott, AZ is probably too warm through the winter, but your mileage may vary and climates are prone to change over time.

Absolutely Amazing!!

We ordered our Arctic Babe nectarine tree last spring and were very pleased when it arrived: the tree was nice and sturdy, with a thicker trunk and branches than most other trees that I've ordered from past nurseries. We planted our tree in a large pot, expecting to receive fruit in about 2 or 3 years time, but to our utter delight, our little tree gave us a wonderful little cluster of nectarines in only one year's time!! We picked and ate our first one today and it was perfect, so deliciously juicy and sweet! Thank you!

Perfect fruit tree!

It arrived in a very good condition. It's larger than what I expected. It looks like it's a 3 years old tree. The truck is very strong and there are lots of branches. I planted it in a container right away and look forward to seeing the blossoms soon.

After receiving the tree with multiple broken branches it died. Trees come packed well if shipped separately.

I ordered two of these along with a couple dozen other bare root plants and trees.
Packed well however, an entire branch was snapped completely off one of these dwarf nectarines making it impossible to save half of the tree. It is alive so, I will have to live with it looking like it does for now and not producing on one side of it .

So far, so good, asked me again in one year. Because this was a bear root plant, I will not know how good the product is until after it produces fruit next year. The service was good. It arrived two days before arrival day.
And the customer service was excellent. I had to email them a question about putting my bare root tree in a container, and they answered me with a very competent answer. So far I love this company.
